As identified in the product innovation process section above, some projects running on the train model have many specific contribution opportunities.  


===Project: Community Experimentation Launchpad===
Connected Devices at Mozilla embarked on a path by organizing the team around a [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Connected_Devices/Product_Innovation_Process gated innovation process] that has given us some time to evaluate the market and brainstorm ideas that we believe will solve real problems, while considering possibilities that make the most of our unique resources and active community. At this point, we’ve identified and rallied around a shortlist of these ideas, and have our first group of projects in need of contributions from our community of developers and participants. We’ll be looking for feedback while collaborating on code, shipping test builds, aimed at finding a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product/market_fit Product/Market Fit]. We’ll determine this by evaluating product usage and asking our target users if we’re on the right track. We plan to be scientific, and make these decisions objective and fair, so if we get off track, we can either re-work a solution for more testing, or simply move on to the next idea in the queue.


We're building a program that aims to empower Mozillians to dream up the future of connected devices, test and prototype their ideas and make them a reality through open collaboration and innovation. The program provides resources, tools and mentoring to help you get involved, either through contribution to an existing project or bootstrapping your own. Make sure to check this section regularly as we will be continuously updating the wiki.

If you have an idea for a project and wish the collaborate with other Mozillians, here are a few quick suggestions and questions you should ask yourself to get started and get people to join you in your effort.

==Get Connected==


====Getting mentorship====
Connected Devices Participation is in early days, a great time to get involved. But we are moving fast. Stay with us as we set everything up.


As you get started and as you progress through your project, you'll be able to get mentoring from a cross-functional panel of technical and non-technical experts in the IoT space. You'll be to bounce off ideas, as questions and get some guidance to help you push your project forward.
